Of Montreal - The Gay Parade

Whenever I'm looking for something good to post I check to see what albums are missing or no longer have active links within the blogosphere, and since I just received this LP in the mail today, I thought I'd give it some attention here. It's impossible for me to rank the Of Montreal albums that preceded Satanic Panic in the Attic. I love them all equally, but this might be my favorite album to sing along with. It's traditional pop genius, but requires a little patience and a few listens to realize it. Although the music itself is catchy as hell, it's the lyrics that are likely to hook you. Each song tells a story that is both huggable and well... kinda gay, but it's one of the best releases to come off Kindercore Records in my opinion.
